Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Daily Life in the Middle East. It needs to be at least 1500 words. This has drawn the attention of the media from all parts of the world. Different media stations have different things to say about the situation on the ground in the Middle East. This paper will examine the difference between what the international media and local media covers the daily life of the people in the Middle East.

It is interesting to note that by the year 2002, most of the media stations in Iraq were controlled by the government. The then-president, Saddam Hussein, had put his son by the name Uday to control the media. Uday controlled about a dozen dailies and also sat on the editorial boards of all of the most influential newspapers in Iraq. The government of Iraq also happened to control all the influential radio stations and television stations in Iraq (Lynch). All the influential televisions were state owed. Satellite television was at that time expensive and only the wealthy few would afford to enjoy satellite television. The internet was distributed by the government and locals were not allowed to access emails from most of the state owed cyber cafes.

This was the problem with the then administration. The media did not have enough freedom to convey to the people what was really happening. The media was a puppet of Saddam Hussein’s administration. A research that was conducted in early 2000 reveals that indeed Iraq happens to be among 10 nations in the world that are most hostile to journalists and the media in general. The government had also made it impossible for journalists to obtain truthful information as most Iraqi citizens were afraid to criticize Saddam Hussein’s administration. People who spoke ill of the administration were publicly executed.

The United States of America invaded Iraq in April 2003 in a bid to oust the then sitting President Saddam Hussein’s. After the war, the media gained some of its freedoms.
